COMMITTEE IS AMAZED
AT THE STAT* FARM
(Continued from flrtt page)
" I s.
fields of high upland oorn show. One
rides actually for mllea on the wellkept
roads which wind through these
corn holds which produce, pprhapa,
moro corn than the combined farms
of some of the State's smaller oounties.
One day last week members of the
penitentiary committees of the Legislature
were taken to the farms by the
members of the State Penal Board,
and their eyes were opened by this
extraordinary?successful farming operation.
Representative A. J. Hydrick, of
Orangeburg, 4. man over six feet,
stood lnva corn, row, reached as high
as he could, ahd observed that the
aHcendlng corn was producing two
ears above the point to which his raised
hands reached. That is the kind
of corn they are producing here this
year.
Col. James 8. Wilson, superintendent
of the penitentiary and responsible
for the operation of the farms,
proudly directed ' the legislators and
the penal board members over" the
farms. Ho pointed out that they are
using 30 less laborers this year than
last but are cultivating 400 more
acres of laud. He stopped at one field
of young corn, about five feet high,
to observe that it had been planted
only 34 days ago.
The State has been operating farms
for 52 years, always on .the acreage
here. Farm No. 1, known as the De
Saussure farm, has been In operation
for 52 years, and farm No. 2, the Heed
farm, has been State property for 49
years.
Col. Wilson and members of the
penal hoard believe It would pay tho
Stato to have ovon more cultivated
land. They would either purchase It
or clear more of some of the land already
owned, much of It swamp land
that could be reclaimed by drainago
and clearance. And it would appear
that tho shcCCss of the farms' operations
would warrant It.
Wilson glvos considerable of his
time to the farms, and pair of broths
era are the resident superintendents,
Capt. W. A* Rush, the elder, runs the
Heed farm and Capt. Orover Rush the
De Saussure farm. Wilson hit upon
the idea of separate superintendent*
in order that there could be a greater
managerial concentration "H fftWlft
units. One Rush has 1,500 aores ??;td
the other, the identical acreage. And
each tries to outproduce the other, a'
development which Col. Wilson says
has worked to the beideflt of the whqle
thing. ' f ,
There are 66 mules and* only iwdtractors
on these two huge farms.
Each, at this time, has 107 prisonerlaborers.
They work in details under
guards, are well fed and well housed.
At each farm is a brick barracks
whore the men eat and sleep.

OOLDEtt TEXT?Give us this day our
dally bread.?Matthew 6:11.
Only God can provide the necessities
of life. Rationing has taught us
that lesson anew if we have been tH
all thoughtful about it. The plan is
one of snaring. Sharing what? The
food and other provisions which
come to us from God's hand. Unless
our crops are good there wul
' be less to share. Only God can help
us. ,
This was the lesson Israel learned
in the wilderness. To reach the
goal to which God was leading them
* they must pass through the wilderness.
Not only were there many
J weary miles to travel, but there
. were privations to be borne. Life
Is like that.
Now they cried for food. Note how
elemental are man's needs in the
.. final analysis?bread-and water. The
very things we take almost for
granted as we concern ourselves
with life's weighty interests and profound
problems become, if lacking,
the only things that have any real
meaning. And who is it that can
provide them? No one but God Himself.
I. Bread from Heaven (Exod. 16:
11-18).
Israel's longing for meat was met
by the miraculous coming of quantities
of quail (v. 13). But that was
not the food to sustain them day
after day. For this they needed
bread, and it came from heaven,
4 every day until they entered the
promised land (Josh. 5:12).
Observe four things about the
manna.
First, it was a divine provision.
There are responsibilities in life
which we may bear?and must bear
?but in the ultimate meeting of our
real needs we must look to God.
Secondly, it was a daily provision.
What forehanded folk many of us
aje, and no doubt rightly so, for
God puts no premium on improvidence.
But once again we must
recognize, ng did Israel in receiv
Irijf the d?ity m&ruia In the wilderness,
that oura la indeed a moment
by moment existence.
We plan bravely for the next decade
or the next generation, but as a
matter of fact it can only come to
paaa "if the Lord will" (read James
5:13-17).
Next, it was a limited provisionenough
for the day and no more, except
for a double portion on the
sixth duy, and none at all on thev
Sabbath. These provisions were
made plear to Israel, and yet there
were those who attempted to lay up
for the morrow, and some even
went out to seek manna on the Sabbath
day,
We marvel at their stubborn obtuseness,
but are we not often just
like them. Some there are who are
always expecting that the laws of
both Qod and man should be set
aside for them, but they come to
grief*
Finally, It called for diligence and
action on their part. They had to
be out early each day (except the
Sabbath) to gather it. God'g mercies
are for those who are willing
to obey Him. He gives to those
who receive by active faith.
II. Water from the Rock (Exod.
17:3-8).
"And the people thirsted"?for the
daily manna was not, enough, they
must have water. Needy, yes, constantly
needy are God's children.
"Every life knows the bite of necessity
. . . every soul cries out in
pain because there is wanting some
completing favor, some culminating
and all-contenting benediction. Here
it is bread; there it is water; but
everywhere a famine ... in many
a case a famine of soul, a spiritual
destitution, a^ consciousness of a
void which time cannot satisfy or
space content."
God always provides. There is a
rock in the wilderness. But what
pleasure does a murmuring people
find in a rock when they famish for
water? It is God's delightful custom
to meet our needs in unexpected
ways and by means which we do
not understand. Even our physical
necessities come from unthought of
sources.
III. Christ, the Bread and Water
of Life.
Our lesson does not give the New
Testament application of Israel's experiences,
but let us not miss that
blessed spiritual truth.
In John 6:31-33, Christ is declared
to be the true bread from heaven, of
which the manna was but a type.
Paul speaks in I Corinthians 10:
1-4 of this incident in the history of
Israel, saying that they "did all eat
the same spiritual meat, and did all
drink the same spiritual drink; for
they drank of that spiritual Rock
that followed them: and that Rock
was Christ" (see also John 4:14).
Hungry and thirsty soul, you who
are still unsatisfied after tasting all
that life apart from Christ has t?
offer, will you not, just now, taks
Him?
The zebra-tailed lizard buries itself
in the sand to sleep.
